Psalms 59
1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Aratakiti. He Mikitama na Rawiri, i a Haora i tono tangata hei tiaki mo te whare, hei whakamate mona. Whakaorangia ahau, e toku Atua, i oku hoariri: whakateiteitia ake ahau i te hunga e whakatika ana ki ahau.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Whakaorangia ahau i nga kaimahi i te kino: kia ora ahau i te hunga toto.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Kei te whanga nei hoki ratou mo toku wairua: e whakamine ana te hunga kaha ki te whawhai ki ahau; kahore nei oku tutu, kahore oku hara, e Ihowa.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
Hore oku kino, oma ana ratou, kei te takatu: e ara hei awhina moku, titiro mai hoki.
5 Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Ae ra, maranga, e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, tirohia iho nga tauiwi katoa: kaua e tohungia tetahi o te hunga kino, e poka ke nei. (Hera)
6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
Ka hoki mai ratou i te ahiahi, kei te tau, ano he kuri, taiawhiotia ana e ratou te pa.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear?
Nana, kei te kupa o ratou mangai, he hoari kei o ratou ngutu: ki ta ratou, ko wai e rongo?
8 But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
Ko tau ia, e Ihowa, he kata ki a ratou: hei tawainga mau nga tauiwi katoa.
9 [Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
E toku kaha, ka tatari ahau ki a koe: ko te Atua hoki toku pa.
10 My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Kei mua i ahau toku Atua aroha: ma te Atua ahau ka kite i taku i hiahia ai ki oku hoariri.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Kaua ratou e whakamatea, kei wareware toku iwi: kia whakamararatia ratou e tou kaha; whakataka iho ratou, e te Ariki, e to matou whakangungu rakau.
12 [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for cursing and lying which they speak.
Mo te hara o to ratou mangai, mo nga kupu a o ratou ngutu, hopukia ratou i runga i to ratou whakakake, mo ta ratou korero, he kanga, he teka.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Whakamotitia i runga i te riri, kia kahore ai ratou: a kia matau ratou ko te Atua te Kawana o Hakopa puta noa ki nga pito o te whenua. (Hera)
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
I te ahiahi tukua ratou kia hoki, tukua ratou kia tau, ano he kuri, kia taiawhio ratou i te pa.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
Ka kopikopiko noa ratou ki te rapu kai, a ka tauwhanga i te po roa ina kore ratou e makona.
16 But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.
Ko ahau ia, ka waiatatia e ahau tou kaha; ae, i te ata ka hamamatia e ahau tau mahi toku: ko koe hoki toku pa, toku piringa i te ra o toku pouri.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Ka himene ahau ki a koe, e toku kaha: ko te Atua nei hoki toku pa, toku Atua aroha.
